I'd been interested in the movie but thought that it might turn out to be too gory and violent. You've peaked my interest. Speaking of 'peeking' - took a look at that Google carwash link - what a great video! Thanks. I enjoyed reading your review.

I didn't walk into it with any "anti-Bush" rhetoric under my belt, so I didn't take any of it with me. Some people just have to draw these parallels. I don't.

Unfortunately, even the author says that the entire point of the original story was lost and that the people behind the movie rewrote it as yet another “Bush is Evil” parable. Frankly, I’m tired of those parables and lazy though. I was hoping for something new. Does the movie rise above that warn out cliché or would it just annoy me? I’m no fan of government and I harbor no trust for it. Just tired of hearing about Bush… I specifically chose to stay away from this movie after reading: http://anarchangel.blogspot.com/2006/03/fanboy-alert.html
